I recently replace a battery in my 1996 Chevy Prizm and when I did that, my stereo locked. So, instead of having to go to the dealership and pay $30-something, can anyone give me the code or instructions to do this myself??

Is there any way that I can test a cd player to be sure that it works without having to install the whole thing? Thanks!

I originally started a thread a while back in regards to a pinging problem in an 86 Cutlass Ciera. I used some suggestions (spraying water thru the carb) which at the time fixed it for a while, but recently the problems came back. Today I did the next step which was replacing the EGR valve, which...

I am curious if someone out there knows on what brand names and styles in which women buy their cars most? I assume that the car industry keeps track on the gender for certain style of cars that they are targeting. As an example, I like the style of this Ford Cougar (coupe - 2 doors, late 1990s or...

A few weeks ago, our '94 Caravan began having some problems. When you'd turn the key to start it, you'd hear a click and nothing would happen. The next time you did it, it would start and run fine. Within the last week, it got worse. You'd turn the key 3-5 times and nothing would happen then it...

Hi, I'm buying my first car and I'm definitely getting one used. I've noticed a lot of extremely cheap old cars - anything from £75 to £1000. What are the pros and cons of such old cars? Obviously the main disadvantage is increased repair costs, but roughly how unreliable should I expect my cheapo...

Heya folks... Been threatening to tear down the spare engine for my '82 Mazda 626, and do a full clean/inspect/repair/rebuild on it from top to bottom for a while now, but I've had a minor shortage of discretionary funds, special hardware, clear space, and time. Today, that changes. Now, here's...

I know I haven't had an oil change in a while. I've "heard" it's easy... any tips for a first time DIYer specifically for this car? It has about 78000 KM on it. I have a FRAM filter that I figured out was correct... anything else I need? Thanks

I have a ~92 Ford Taurus wagon which has an engine problem that would cost more to repair than the car is worth. The symptom is knocking, the cause, I've been told, is something to do with worn bearings. It will run, poorly, but it could seize up at any moment. Anyway, I need to get this thing out...

I have a '95 Toyota Land Cruiser that is having intermittent starting problems. Here's what happens: It starts great in the morning and then I make about 3 or 4 stops within a few hours, shutting off the vehicle each time. Then, for whatevery reason, it won't start. It cranks strong, but it...

I have two Crown Victoria's ( a 97, and an 03 police interceptor) that I would like to install keyless entry systems in. I bought them from JC Whitney, and was wondering if anyone had good directions they could give me regarding where I should install them, what wires to attach them to, and...

My 898 Mazda 626 a/c works in the first 2 fan speeds but when I put in the 3rd or 4th speed the compressor shuts off. Any ideas what causes this? Paul

My husband and I bought an 84 Bronco a few months ago. For a bit of background, it had a factory radio, not even a tape player. And it worked fine, but didnt light up at all (along with a few other things) when the headlights were on. So anyway I just installed the new cd player we bought and it...

Does anyone know a good website that I can find performance specs for pretty much all new cars? eg 1-100pkh (60mph), top speed, power, torque etc) cheers Bryan

I am thinking of getting a new car soon and would like to protect the fabric from stains. Does anyone out there use Scotchguard regularly on their auto carpet and fabric? Does it work well to make stains come out easier? How often do you need to re-apply for it to be effective.
